Chapter 30 Escape

The priest lit a candle and led the maid to dance. The sacrifice began. The first sacrifice was a deer. The blood of the deer flowed into the container in the lower room of the altar. The deer's corpse was burned, and the smoke covered the stone statue from bottom to top.

The priest finished reciting a string of spells, and it was the second sacrifice to come.

When the soldiers opened the wooden cage, the group finally understood what was going to happen.

They were not here to do short-term worker, they were offerings to the goddess, and one person was only worth two silver coins, which was cheaper than the previous deer.

The soldier waved into the wooden cage and signaled an old woman to come over. The old woman was so scared that she cried out loudly, pulled the hair of a young girl beside her and pushed her to the door with force.

The soldier doesn't care, he just needs to be a woman.

They tied the girl to a rope and hung it on top of the stone statue with an iron hook. The girl was so scared that she couldn't speak until a spear stabbed into her chest that she let out her first scream.

The mother quickly blocked the child's eyes with her hands. A group of people shrank in the cage, shed tears, and shook them into a ball, but she did not dare to make any sound.

Manda was also trembling, half really scared, half pretending, he observed every detail of the sacrifice in his fingers, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

The situation was not optimistic, and all the soldiers prayed under the altar, and unless Zhao Zilong possessed him, he would not be able to break through the hundreds of people.

Inadvertently, he noticed the statue of god. The girl's blood flowed to the stone statue, leaving no trace of blood. The blood that fell on the statue instantly disappeared without a trace, as if it was drunk by the statue.

What a terrible Nymph! Or is the evil spirit sealed inside the body of the demon?

Uncle Bearded was the only one who did not show any fear. He shouted loudly: "This is blasphemy! You are blaspheming the hunting goddess! There is no glory and majesty of God in this statue, and there is only a bloodthirsty demon in it! You are not worthy of reciting the name of God, you are not worthy of!"

The girl struggled on the hook for a long time before she died. When her blood was dry, the third round of sacrifice began.

The soldiers opened the cage again, and the bearded uncle walked up directly.

"Let me do it! I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of that evil demon!"

Manda hated her teeth and itched, not because of the cruelty of these people, but because of the stupidity of the bearded man.

He did this without any meaning. He could not change the fate of these people by dying first, but it would not have been possible for Manda to lose one helper.

The others were very grateful that although they didn't know who would be the next one, at least they could live for a while.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers did not fall in love with the bearded man, and they pushed him back to the cage: "It's still early, you have to leave it until the end and change to another man!"

The soldier looked at the annoying young man. The young man was so scared that his face turned pale. He grabbed Manda and said, "He! He has always wanted to escape, let him go first. I am the clerk chosen by the Knight. I swear in the name of the Lord that what I said is true!"

The soldier shook his head and said, "He is even more special, change another one!"

It was like playing a game, and the soldier kept staring at the young man, watching his funny and shameless behavior.

The young man turned around and grabbed the little boy again: "This little guy can do nothing, let him go!"

The mother hugged the little boy desperately, and the little boy cried out loudly. Manda took advantage of the chaos to cut the young man's thigh with her fingers.

Blood flowed out, the young man screamed, and the two soldiers looked at each other.

"He was injured? He shed so much blood?"

"Hurry up and give it to the goddess, and you will die if you don't do it tomorrow."

The soldier dragged the young man out and hung it up. The spear quickly pierced his chest, and blood flowed on the stone statue, disappearing cleanly as before, but the young man's shouting did not stop for a long time.

"I am the clerk selected by the Knights. The Knights can testify for me. I am a nobleman. I know words. Save me. Please..."

The heavy rain poured in, and the priest asked the waiter to open a few more holes in the young man's body to let his blood dry soon.

Siegse, who was standing under the tent, smiled and said, "The heavy rain means rebirth, and we have received a response from the gods."

The bearded man sat in the cage and made another voice that others could not detect: "You are so cruel, he really won't die."

"It's not me who killed him." Manda hurried in a corner of the cage and fell asleep.

At dusk, the soldiers sent each of them a loaf of bread, and everyone was chewing and chewing, and their desire for food made them forget the threat of death again.

Late at night, the heavy rain still did not stop, and only two soldiers were left behind outside the wooden cage, and the rest hid in the tent.

Manda leaned over to the bearded man and poked him with his elbow.

The bearded man opened his eyes. He didn't sleep and knew what Manda wanted to do.

Manda pointed to the door and moved his finger, meaning he could open the door of the cage.

After opening the door, one person will kill the guards, it is best not to make a sound and then run away immediately.

The bearded man shook his head and said, "It's not the time."

"It's too late to stop the rain."

“It won’t stop tonight.”

Manda's voice caught the attention of the soldiers. A soldier turned around and pulled the sword half out of the scabbard, which was a warning to Manda.

Seeing them drowsy in the rain and actually maintaining a very high alert, the bearded man's judgment is right, and now is really not the time.

Manda sat back in his corner, and the little boy who had been sleeping soundly in his mother's arms suddenly opened his eyes, quietly climbed to Manda, and stuffed half of the bread in his hand to Manda.

The soldier only gave them a loaf of bread to their mother and son, obviously not wanting to waste food on them. The mother gave the little boy half of it, and there was a gap on the half of the bread, which was bitten by the little boy. He only took one bite, and left all the rest to Manda.

This was his only wealth, he stared at Manda, his eyes full of desire, and he wanted to live.

Manda took a bite and returned the bread to the little boy. The little boy refused to accept it. This was his bargaining chip for his life. He knew that he could not bargain.

His eyes were wide open, staring at Manda tightly. Looking at the little guy's eyes, Manda couldn't help but smile.

He crossed his eyes and stared at the little guy for a while. A total of seven silver coins were reflected on his round and chubby face.

Life is valuable, and most of the time it is cheap, but those who live desperately can always enhance their value.

Such people are worth living.

It was raining heavily, and Manda sat in the corner waiting for the bearded man to move.

After waiting for a long time, Manda couldn't help kicking him, but the guy still didn't respond, as if he had already sat down.

Manda had prepared the gold fingers and wanted to make a difficult choice, whether to open a hole in the bearded man's leg? Or directly open the door to the cage?

While he was wandering, he suddenly saw the bearded man opening his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The time is here!"

Manda looked at the sleeping little boy, pointed at him, and then pointed at himself, signaling him to follow closely.

The little boy nodded and woke up his sleeping mother.

Manda quietly came to the cage and clamped the chain with her fingers.

With a thud, the chain broke, and Manda took a breath, his voice louder than he thought.

The soldiers outside the cage did not react and they fell asleep.

Manda pushed open the cage door and signaled the others not to move. He and the bearded man quietly walked out of the cage.

The two came behind the two soldiers respectively. Manda cut one soldier's throat with her golden fingers. The soldier covered her neck and struggled hard, awakening the other soldier.

The awakened soldier just opened his eyes when his mouth was covered by the bearded man and his neck was broken.

Manda turned around and looked at the boy inside the cage. The boy was very scared, and his mother was even more scared, but he still pulled his mother out of the cage.

A young man woke up and saw that they all ran away, so he quickly followed.

The only old woman was left in the cage. Manda didn't want to care about her, but the bearded man still came forward to wake her up.
